Malteser International, Order of Malta Worldwide Relief, aspires to a world where all individuals — particularly those in need and those who are displaced — live a life of health and dignity. Malteser International works as an international humanitarian aid organization of the Catholic Order of Malta. Malteser International provides aid to people in need in over 140 projects in 35 countries, regardless of religion, political persuasion, origin, or gender.

 

"We are grateful to the White Cross Ball of New York City, which has provided us with critical funds to help continue our work. In Ukraine, we continue to provide psychosocial support, strengthen aid programs for patients with war injuries, and help communities with shelter, housing, and preparation for the cold winter months. Following the earthquake in Türkiye and Syria, we are providing urgent care, all without electricity in complete darkness and in extremely cold weather.”

— Ellen Powers, Development Manager, Malteser International
